Eight months removed from surgery to fix a ruptured patellar tendon, Lions defensive end Jason Jones is participating in OTAs on a limited basis, reports the Detroit Free Press. "I feel good,” Jones told the paper. "It’s definitely a long offseason for me, so I’m ready to get back out there."

Jones played in parts of three games before being shelved last season.

Lions defensive end Jason Jones, who ruptured his patellar tendon Week 3, told the team's website his recovery is on schedule and he'll be 100 percent by training camp in July. “In another month I’ll be back on the field running and stuff like that so my recovery is going well,” Jones said.
